Lissie’s in a precarious position. Her cover of Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” helped make her an Internet star, sampled brilliantly on Schoolboy Q’s “Hands on the Wheel,” yet her bread-and-butter is pop-oriented folk-rock. Back to Forever successfully mashes her personas, starting with the shuffling, radio-friendly “The Habit,” which sounds like The Killers fronted by a county chanteuse. She channels “Stand Back”-era Stevie Nicks on “Further Away (Romance Police)” and even kind of tries her hand at rapping on “Shameless.” But Lissie’s a country girl at heart, and her ballads, like “They All Want You,” are real tearjerkers. The girl’s got it all—listen to Back to Forever and hear for yourself.
